On macOS 10.12.4, the issue of deck's layout has occurred that, deck's 'Control Buttons' can't be set on correct position of theirselves when user resized Player window.

This issue caused by error between "Actual position" and "Display position" of buttons, and user action of button click is available only against "Actual position". To workaround this for example, user have to go 'Full Screen' once and return to normal screen.

Currently I am throwing inquiry to Apple's Technical Support, and I will launch new fixed version as soon as countermeasure found.

I am very sorry for users inconvenience. Please wait a while.

I will report again about this issue on this page.
